Integrated Instrumentation for Electro-optic Polymer Development

Abstract

We have developed an integrated instrumentation to demonstrate and implement a test procedure that enhanced the development of suitable polymeric E-O materials for integrated optics. The material test requirements were based on the fabrication, assembly, and end use product requirements of the material in a device. The sequential test procedure is consist of a series of tests designed to efficiently test and screen materials as they are being developed. The test targets a simple integrated optic device to measure a wide range of performance values, while the compatibility of the material will be evaluated during the fabrication of the test device. The development of an enhanced material system will demonstrate the usefulness of the procedure. The test methods have been transfer to the material development community.
